I remember reading about the “true unemployment rate” a while back, I always go there to check the rate instead of that 4% number. So ridiculous.
EDIT: Looks like it’s from the author of that article! Anyways yeah it’s a running counter
Jackson Hinkle is that u
Agreed. When I read about imperialism it seems to me like a lot of pressure is just constantly being put on these other countries through many forms (propaganda, finance capital, military presence, etc) - I wonder what will happen when this pressure is released even just a little bit by this chaos.
The propaganda network is currently being thrown into chaos, the world looks at the US very differently since the 2008 financially & it is stretched very thinly, the military was shown to be quite the paper tiger, such as when they went face to face with Yemen with nothing to show for it. The US is still very dangerous but it’s in such decay over the past generation, I don’t think anyone including the Dems have come to terms with it.
Oh my goodness that’s a hall of famer
There was a similar thing that happened that illustrates the same point.
Media has been silent about bird flu, many people telling me I’m overreacting as the supply chain has been getting slowly infected over the last 1-1.5 years. Now that Trump’s in office, Rachel Maddow covers it in a 10-minute long monologue & everyone’s like “have you heard about the bird flu?”
It’s like nothing exists until Trump does it
24% vs 4% is by estimations about a 40m person difference. That seems like an incredibly important point to get across
